Kino Motel is the brand new project from Ed Fraser and Rosa Mercedes, with a series of upcoming releases they’ve labelled "grit pop." After meeting in a commune in Berlin, the duo deserted together and hit the road. Following a grimy and particularly sweaty basement karaoke session somewhere in Vietnam in 2019, Ed and Rosa realised they needed to form a band.

Our Carlson is from Blackwood, Victoria. He released his debut LP A Bit Much in January. His charismatic DIY dance music made a huge impression when he supported UV Race in Beechworth. We can't wait to have him back.
